Aero Highwayman or Cossack.
5'9", 190. I have a Cossack in size 42. It is drawn in all the way, and I'm sure I could gain some girth and still be fine. They added inches to the length 'cause I wanted a longer fit. I'm saying you cant' go wrong either way. Tell them what you want and you'll get it;-)- roperdad

Buffalo leather duster
Wow. If that leather is of any substance at all it would have to weigh 15-20 lbs. If it absorbed water in a shower it'd gain a lot of weight! My experience with buffalo is that it is fairly open grained and consequently absorbent.- roperdad

Aero sleeves -- I can't sleep at night
I have the Cossack, which as you likely know, is a Stuart with a zipper and no breast pocket. The button sleeves are a little snug, but I like them. With the weight and body of the leather, I wonder if the storm cuff sleeves don't 'swallow' your hands as you move? The button sleeves...- roperdad

What's the best alternative to leather in a hard wearing casual jacket?
I must agree with Inusuit. They are a somewhat utilitarian, but if you really wear it a Carhartt made of brown duck is the way to go. They are affordable and serviceable. Brush, barb wire, snow and birdshot will all be handled by the brown duck!- roperdad

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello, all. Long time lurker, second time poster. I consider myself an expert on hats. Western hats to be specific. I've owned and worn out closets full of straw and felt hats. From steer horns being run through them to drunken revelers taking bites out of the crown, I've been through...- roperdad

How did you find the lounge?
Looking for info/pictures of Aero FQHH jackets. Lurked for a long time and finally joined. I find humor in that I don't wear a Fedora, but a custom-made 100% beaver "cowboy hat". Still, the Fedora Lounge delivers some great info!- roperdad
